(Too lazy to bother with thumbnails, and it's late. I would like it to be a hyperlink though, just don't quite know how. Anyways...)
Final mission loadout:
4X Scorpion (Xenos class-2)
1x Driller Mine, 47 mines (they're expensive)
Class-3 Grav shield
10 Batteries (again, expensive mines)
12 Nanobots
Adv. Thruster
No Countermeasures
No Cruise Disruptors
TOTAL CAMPAIGN DEATHS: 0
That's right. None. Not at Tekagi's Arch, not while rescuing Jacobi, not in the final mission. Two close calls - Nomad battleships had my hull down to roughly 1/3rd, but I always recovered in time.
The kicker? I didn't even think it was that difficult. I guess having an insanely small and maneuverable ship helps a lot. Of course I'm sure the experience must be quite different in a Starflier - maybe I'll try that next.
Anyways I'm feeling good about myself and just wanted to brag a little. Hehe.
